All FCIs require some form of shared storage, the same as if it were a physical implementation. However, presenting shared storage to an OS inside a VM is a bit different than in the physical world. These are the supported options:

  • vHBA

  • In-guest iSCSI

  • VHD Set

VHD Set should be considered first. For more information on the VHD Set feature, consult the Microsoft Learn documentation.
